[Sharp Rise in International Oil Prices and Economic Outlook]

Meanwhile, international oil prices showed a sharp upward trend on the 19th (local time) as clashes between the United States and Iran intensified once again. According to foreign reports including Reuters, as of 6:02 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time, the September Brent crude futures price surged 3.12% from the previous trading day to trade at $90.85 per barrel.

If such uncertainties in the crude oil supply chain persist, commodity prices may be stimulated going forward, warranting close monitoring of related developments. In particular, rising prices could be a critical variable affecting U.S. interest rate trends, making it an important factor to watch.
